President Of SHS Presents His Projeet
Panayotis Clonaridis, President of the SHS presented his project on “The Chemistry of Local Anesthetics" on November the 6th.
The project deals with the structure of these drugs and its relationship to their anesthetic activity. Local anesthetics block the transmission of nerve impulses, thus producing a local loss of sensations at the part of the human body, where they are
injected. Local anesthesia has been introduced in surgery after the discovery of local anesthetics.
The project deals' also with the preparation and the chemical, physical and physiological properties of these drugs as well as with their contribution to humanity’s welfare
On the other hand, the study of these compounds gives the author as well as the reader the chance to revise and expand their reactions to organic chemistry.
. By Joseph Henein
Bathed in romantic lights, crowded with dressed-up AUC’ians and bursting with' hot jazz tunes, the Student Lounge seemed less dull for once on Saturday, November 5. The inauguration of AUG social life came at last with the newcomers’ welcome party sponsored by the Student Council.
'The request was granted, and Adib decided to visit the factory twice a week during the months of June and July, while devoting his other days to reading thirteen books related to the subject.
"By dividing my industry into steps I arrived to study one single step every week," says Adib, “so that during the two visits to the refinery I could see the step being considered, a*id could interview the engineers, chemis's and workers."
By the end of July he was able to get t. general idea about the work in the plant, and in August the hard work t egan. He went daily to the factoi'y, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Each morning he devoted to watching different steps of the refining, trying to understand every detail, and discussing everything with the workers.
He pessed the afternoon in the laboratory analyzing samples of American and Egyptian sugars, trying to find out the difference between the two. "'Ihe result proved that the Egyptian sugar WeS sweeter than the American, but the latter is purer than the Egyptian," says Adib.
"On October 25, I made the presentation of my project. Dr. Miller and Mr. Vendersall attended the class."
To sum up the purposes of his topic, Adib said; "’The purpose of this project was to show the refining process of Hawamdieh Refinery, which is the main source of the topic, to show the differences between American and Egyptian refined cane sugar, and to explain the social life of the workers in the refinery."

An Expert On Turkish History
Students are accustomed to see ai'ound the campus a cheerful person, who is often seen accompanied by a four-year old boy. They might not have realised tliat this humble and smiling person is an expert on Turkish history This w our history instructor Dr. Thomas Naff.
Dr. Naff received his Pli.D. degree from London University, in tlie liistory of the Middle East He is also a graduate of the University of California in European history.
Dr. Naff has made a tour around the Middle East where he visited most of the countries there. Cairo, Damascus, and Beirut were the most Important capitals he visited during his tour.
(Contd. on page Ii)
Groups of students began to show up at 7:00 p.m. In the Lounge where they were received by members of the Council. By 8 p.m., students and staff members poured In until the whole place became jammed.
Tunes of Tango, Cha-Cha and Meringues drove each guest to swing his partner, first with distinguished reserve, then with •Striking confidence. The band contributed to the great success of the party In playing the late.st hits now in vogue in Cairo. Their performance was particularly special due to the enthusiasm and zeal of Maestro Mounir Nassif Boulos, who both played the piano .and sang.
Arranging several games, the party organizers succeeded in creating an atmosphere of mirth .and joy. Adding more charm to this gaity were Dr. Carl Leiden with his original demonstrations, and Dr. Thomas Ni ff with his lively cheerfulness.
As time passed on, refreshments and food were served. It is true that most students and two or tiiree of tlie teaching staff grumbled about what was offered. The meal was insufficiently cooked and raw; sand-witches were poorly filled, and... But who really cared about that during the party '
One major thing that caught the eye was the small number of newcomers who attended this party. Although it wais planned for them, only a handful did come.
Be that as it may, nobody would dare say^ "the Party was a flop": it was not.
